Ted Cruz on the Adam Carolla Show

Bianca dialed in online senator that I'm great to be with you great to be with you man

to %HESITATION eliminate the IRS driving me nuts nto out today April sixteenth he

is a day when a whole lot of folks you know move into a simple flat tax and just had blocking the IRS I think that is a powerful populist issue and and and today the day what it it's

on people's minds well if you want to talk about an issue and in here we are always talking about you

know gay rights or immigration or whatever it is it that the transgendered community or something fine

but that doesn't impact the entire country literally everyone this impacts hopefully

literally everyone is born into this country some it is a good place to start in

terms of policy I I don't and senator you tell me it seems weird when politicians get really caught up in nothing and

they're missing sort of the big picture why don't wanna times what politicians are trying to do is is distracted though

what would you do and I always hear about the flat tax at all can stop and course we should everybody

I tell you by the way senator as a rich folk I am devastated I grew up my entire life with

poor people going well you know as soon as you get rich you just by women on your right at all I mean you don't pay a penny because I

get reamed for taxes quarterly like it's not once a year four times a year I get I get I just get punished and

pummeled I'd had no idea that's is where it's going to be like this well and and the sad reality is much much

of the political rhetoric you here is is just not true Sosa so for example that the Democrats love to say that that that Republicans are the party of the rich but

but here's the truth of the matter the rich do just fine under big government big business does fantastic under big government gets in bed with big government has armies of lawyers and lobbyists and accountants the

people are getting hammered at the people who are struggling right now today this is an astonishing statistic the

top one percent the millionaires and billionaires at the president loves to demagogue earn a higher share of our national income today than any

year since nineteen twenty eight the rich have done well under big government but you know to get a Democrat nd

sorry hosting Herat's Atari but but the people are getting hammered our young people they're Hispanic their African Americans are single moms are people who are struggling to

to to to achieve the American dream that there are people like my dad who fifty seven years ago fled

Cuba was nothing couldn't speak English at a hundred dollars in his underwear and wash dishes make it fifty cents an hour or those of the people get hammered

yeah now he he came legally came on a student visa and he had fought in the Cuban Revolution actually fought with Fidel Castro until

he didn't know castor was a communist then and none of the kids fighting did they just knew Batista was it was a cruel an oppressive dictator mt

and so he when he was a teenager Batista's thugs thrown in prison and and beat a pathway to death yeah
